title: Elevated right ventricular end-diastolic pressure by Doppler echocardiography-a case report.
abstract: Careful analysis of the right-sided Doppler signals provides important data regarding right heart hemodynamics. Here, we illustrate the value of the combined analysis of flow across the hepatic vein, tricuspid valve, and pulmonary valve for the diagnosis of elevated right ventricular end-diastolic pressure.
